Stetson University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Hayley

I wish i had known that the food situation wasn't that great. It is a hit or miss when it comes to the food that we are offered daily, and on the weekend the food really declines. There have been improvements this year with the addition of a new type of food place on campus.

Felicia

Before I came to Stetson, I wish I would have known more about greek life and how much it means to the school. I also wish I would have known more about my student account and the money I'm spending to go to school here.

Katie

I wish I would have had a better idea of what I wanted to major in so that I would not have wasted so much time as an undecided student, which has now caused a problem for me in determining if I will graduate on time or not.

Kayla

don't slack off the first year, those are the easiest classes you'll have and its very hard to bring your gpa up once its dropped.

Katie

I wish I would have known more about how financial aid worked. With the current economic crisis, it is very important to understand how you are going to pay for college, especially when you are going to a school as expensive as Stetson.

Brittany

That there are too few practice rooms in the music school.

Michelle

I wish I knew how difficult residential life was to deal with and how often people went crazy. There are new faces in residential life this year, so it's gotten a LOT better and we haven't had any suicide attempts yet, which is awesome. The school is really trying to fix its flaws. I would have also liked to know that you need to beg for financial aid, but that they will most likely work it out for you. Also, the dorms are super moldy (especially Stetson Hall), so bring lots of Damp Rid.

Nicole

I wish I had known which dorms were the best to pick for housing.

David

i wish i had known that my parents had planned to stop paying for my education after my freshman year.

Cleo

That you can study abroad twice.
